Give it to me straight- blog page from scratch
Long story short- if a site is custom coded how much should I expect if a dev wants to charge me to build a blog page?
My quote is 750 CAD. I

Seems reasonable, depending on complexity and dev’s expertise, 750 CAD is a fair ask.

Hi,
First, think about how complicated the blog page needs to be. Does it need special features, integrations, or a unique design? Then, consider the developer’s skill level and experience. More experienced developers usually charge more. Finally, how long will it take to complete the project? The more hours needed, the higher the cost.
With a quote of 750 CAD, here’s what you might expect:
For a simple blog page with basic features, it could cost between 200-500 CAD. This would be a basic layout without much customization. For a medium-complex blog page with some custom features, you’re looking at 500-1,000 CAD. This could include a more detailed layout and some basic custom features. For an advanced blog page with lots of custom features, the cost could be between 1,000-2,500 CAD. This would involve extensive customization and advanced design elements.
So, your quote of 750 CAD seems pretty reasonable for a simple to medium-complex blog page. But if you need a lot of custom features or integrations, the cost might be higher. To get a clearer idea, ask the developer for a detailed breakdown of the tasks, the estimated time required, and their hourly rate. This way, you can better understand if the quote is fair for the work involved.
Thanks

Just a single page design? Yes, that would be pretty standard. Or close to it anyway.

750 CAD for a custom-coded blog page sounds about right. Building a blog from scratch takes time and expertise, even on a simple site. The dev has to set up the backend, design the layout, integrate features like comments, and ensure it’s optimized for performance and SEO. As long as the quote includes these core elements, it seems like a fair price.
